ALS A&E Elementary · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The ALS A&E Elementary Test is the elementary-level credential in the Philippines' Alternative Learning System, a parallel pathway for out-of-school youth and adults who did not complete formal grade school. A passing result signals functional competence at elementary level and can open doors to the ALS junior high school program, further skills training, or employment that asks for basic literacy. Because it is designed for learners who study independently or in community learning centers, the test rewards practical reading, writing, and reasoning over memorized textbook detail. The exam is multiple choice and spans six domains: English communication, Filipino communication, mathematics, science, social studies, and life skills covering personal and social development. Topics on this exam: Communication Skills (English), Communication Skills (Filipino), Mathematics, Science, Social Studies / Araling Panlipunan, and Life Skills / Personal and Social Development. The ALS A&E Elementary case studies are 5 cases and about 1,767 words.
